P3D7 - hoping for the best
I've had a hard time maintaining weight since coming off the HCG. i went up 4 pounds from my last dosage weight and did a steak day. I was also on TOM (time of month) and I'm sure that made a difference. Anyway...went down the next day 3.8 lb so I am just a pound above LDW now...this morning it looked like I was up a pound again but turns out I just needed a bit more rest. I weighed at 5:30, went back to bed and by 7:30 my weight was the same as the day before...I'd had a late dinner so I'm sure it was just not enough digestion or something.
My bloggie camera came in today so I'm super excited...I'll be blogging on it soon. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!

HCG P2 Cabbage n Cumin Recipe
So I have a new love in my life. He's spicy, he's exotic, he's foreign (although he's been in this country long enough that he's a native here too)
he....
is....
CUMIN!
Who knew? I've had this spice in my cupboard because I have one, only one dish that requires it. When I'm cooking off-recipe I sniff it and turn up my nose and put it back in the cabinet but no longer! Cumin has moved up in the world baby! I My spice cabinet has rows with the first row being the ones I use the most and the ones behind in alphabetical order. Cumin has literally moved up in the world to my first most-used row. I wish I'd discovered this sooner in P2 - it would have saved me some heartache and given my veggies more flavor. I've been obsessing about it on cabbage. Here is my P2 cabbage recipe:
Chop up cabbage (amount depends on how much you need for your meal/calories but usually around 250 g)
Mix in to cabbage
Steam 3-5 minutes (depending on how wilty you like your cabbage) then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top.
YUM-O!
This is also really good with spinach leaves. I add coriander when I make this with spinach.

- 1tsp cumin,
- 1tsp red pepper flakes and
- ginger (if you use fresh i like to slice it and put it in the water that I"m steaming in - if not powdered is fine)
- pinch of Himala salt (any will do, this is just my favorite)
Steam 3-5 minutes (depending on how wilty you like your cabbage) then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top.
YUM-O!

P2 friendly homemade ginger ale - YUM
I've been missing carbonation and so I've been experimenting with different items and fizzy water. My previous favorite was peach ice tea, 10 drops of Stevia and carbonated water...but now I'm replacing it with home made ginger ale. It's super simple!
You get fresh ginger and peel it - about 6 inch piece or so. You slice it pretty thin. In a small saucepan heat 2 cups of water and 2 tsp of liquid or powdered Stevia. After it is dissolved/mixed then add the sliced ginger. Simmer for about an hour. This makes a syrup that you then mix by the glass with seltzer water. YUM! Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Had to share - it's good stuff. I'll probably heat longer next time to give more ginger bight - I really like the spiciness!
Oh! I almost forgot. I went to buy a George Forman grill today and ended up buying a different one (Calphalon - the George looked cool but felt rickety compared to the steel Calphalon)...anyway...made grilled chicken and grilled my asparagus and it was SOOO yummy. I miss grilling during the winter so this made me so happy. The asparagus were incredible. I doused them in lemon juice then rolled in Keltic salt and black pepper. Yum-O.
